Reviews

Ty Multhaup Itin3D Consultant, Houston

I took the R, SAS and Excel Course for Data Analytics. I was out of the workforce for a few months and had a background in statistics but I needed to refresh some skills before applying for jobs. Overall, the course was very strong. I liked how it was straight to the point without any bells and whistles. It often focused on concepts and the broader picture of learning. It spanned in complexity so one can kind push themselves to continue investing themselves in the subject matter at their own pace. They seem to really care that you want to learn and help you get there.
In terms of ease of use and customer service Simplilearn was very strong. It is a matter of simply clicking your course and learning. The support team was great and responded to all my questions via live chat quickly, nicely, and easily. If I had one comment, I would say indicate on your settings when your course runs out. I also had trouble some trouble navigating screams on my surface pro but that was all minimal compared to the benefits. Would definitely recommend.

Simplilearn has been a great help for me in my professional and academic progress. I have enjoyed taking their courses and can recommend them to anyone. Currently I have taken their Data Science course and I will now be looking into taking their CAPM program. Their tutors are also top-notch.

Saad Madaha Programmer Analyst III, Houston

It was Great!!! My tutors were phenomenal. I took a project overview class and it really helped sharpened my approach on how I world present my final project.
The class has been great. I’ve done some self-study on Data Science but then realized that taking it as a course with experts would add some substance to my learning curve.I must admit that my decision to take it with Simplilearn has been the right choice.
There is so much detail and hands-on practice in R, SAS and Excel in these classes during the training session. I continue to refresh my reading and benefit from group discussions from SimpliLearn.
I’ll absolutely recommend to anyone to give it a try and take one class, and I promise you’ll get more than you expect in content and value."

Rodney Swann Senior Facility Manager at CBRE, Houston

Excellent instructor with the ability to provide real world experience and insights. Emphasis on the tools along with practical and useful insights. It is not an easy course for those without programming experience, but it does take away some of the mystery and confusion associated with using these tools.

Saad Madaha Programmer Analyst III - Cardiology Information Systems at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York City

Level of granularity. Tutor knowledge. Class size. Tutor's confidence, subject knowledge, and high level of commitment to student understanding of the material. Tutor assisted students who had issues with SAS installation. Great Tutor-Student interaction.

Rodney Swann Senior Facility Manager at CBRE, Houston

My instructor is obviously a Pro at what she does. I wish I had someone around like her to mentor me when I was younger. Some of the technical aspects of the course are a little challenging, but the concepts for doing what is being taught is becoming clear to me. I hope this will make all the difference as I delve into the coursework even more.
